Feature Request: PID writeout on background

Hi all.

I have a simple feature request for the devs and maintainers; when
forking into the background using the -f optarg one would normally have
to consult the process table of whatever OS they're running to find the
process. Would you consider adding another optarg to write the PID out
to stdout or a pidfile? This would be rather helpful in several
usecases.

Thanks,

-c
